Hi all, I was thinking of one handed braille mode. I hope to eventually bring that capability as well, as it should be pretty straight forward. But while thinking of limited input capabilities, I wondered if Morse code keyboard is used by any blind users? Apparently Google's GBoard has a Morse code mode which works with TalkBack and VoiceOver. Just curious. Best regards, Harri
No, I haven't used that. I wonder if it's more efficient than braille though? Sent from my iPhone

Personally, unless you have limited finger use, Morse Code is far less efficient than braille. I can use all my fingers to do braille, where Morse Code only needs basically one finger and involves sometimes 3 and 4 taps to make one letter, at least that is what I recall from when I learned Morse Code 45 years ago but never really used it, so I may be misremembering.

I'm a very big fan of how Apple implemented one-handed mode in BSI. It's brilliantly executed, and once you practice and wrap your head around the concept, which I admit is tricky, it can be insanely fast and useful. My recommendation is to use their model as the example and build MBraille's similarly.
